Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Scotland is now taking this agenda forward through its own community wealth building legislation. If we are serious about meaningful devolution in England, this Bill should provide similar support for local economic empowerment. I hope that the Minister will receive this amendment in the constructive spirit in which it is intended and will consider how community wealth building can strengthen the Bill’s ambitions. I beg to move.
